Gary Johnson has twice the gubernatorial experience of Mitt Romney, and he governed in a state a little closer to the political center. He has more experience than Barack Obama did when he ran for president in 2008. Johnson was permitted to debate in one of the many Republican match-ups, and did quite well (which makes you wonder why he was only invited to one).
A poll by the group "We Ask America" released on June 26 in Colorado shows a neck-and-neck race between Johnson and Obama. Obama leads 46 percent to 43 percent in this Western swing state, but it is within the margin of error. That makes this Rocky Mountain state a toss-up, right? But Johnson wasn't listed in the headlines of the poll.
It's the same story with a Rasmussen Reports poll. The June survey of Colorado voters shows both candidates knotted at 45 percent in the Centennial State. Johnson isn't mentioned.
When the Public Policy Polling results from June shows Obama with a 49 percent to 42 percent lead include Johnson in the mix the results show Obama leads 47 percent to 39 percent in Colorado, with Johnson picking up 7 percent points.
Now PPP polls lean left the way Rasmussen leans right. But they don't lean libertarian. Johnson's strength, where he is best known, could be a factor.
No doubt in my mind at all on who I am voting for should RP not get the nomination. Romney can't beat Obama and people should wake up! All he can do is outspend him.
Thats what I thought.
He meant, taking your comment as truth, that a vote for Johnson would count because he is on the ballot where your Cain write-in would not.
Do they call you Arizona Quick. Jeesh!
"In the beginning of a change the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot."
~ Mark Twain
Johnson is registered in all 50 states and instead of voting for Obama or Romney, two lying career politicians with almost no proven leadership between them, there remains a third option for Americans tired of all the "us vs them" right and left ignorance that has destroyed the power of this great nation... power built not by the right or left, but by the right and the left working together. "
Awesome ... well said.
Like anyone would want to take arsenic out of their drinking water and replace it with Strichnein.
unfortunately, incumbents come with a small advantage. voting third party, writing in a candidate or staying at home serves to return the incumbent.
that is intolerable.
give the new guy the chance. the old guy has had his shot.
